摘要:
A method for identifying an installed cartridge in a cartridge carrier of an imaging apparatus, wherein the imaging apparatus communicates with the installed cartridge over at least one line, includes sending an ID command to the installed cartridge via an ID line; and monitoring the ID line for an affirmative response from the installed cartridge, wherein the affirmative response over the ID line indicates that the installed cartridge is a perforator cartridge.

System and method for hand-held printing. The method can include detecting a direction of initial movement of the hand-held printer. The method can include establishing a mode of operation including either a left-justified mode when the direction of initial movement is left to right or a right-justified mode when the direction of initial movement is right to left. The method can include maintaining the mode of operation for an entire print job.
摘要:
An apparatus for perforating a sheet of media includes a perforation forming mechanism including at least one perforation device. The perforation forming mechanism is configured to drive the perforation device through the sheet of media to extend through the sheet of media by a distance.

An imaging apparatus includes a printing unit and an incising unit. A processor is communicatively coupled to the printing unit and the incising unit. The processor processes job data for use by at least one of the printing unit and the incising unit. An input device is located at the imaging apparatus. The input device is communicatively coupled to the processor. The input device has a first state to select an incising operation and having a second state wherein the incising operation is not selected. The processor executes program instructions to receive a status of the input device, and when the incising operation is selected via the input device, at least a portion of the job data is processed by the processor as incising data.
摘要:
A method for perforating a media includes (a) forming a first set of perforations beginning at a perforation row Rstart and ending at a perforation row Rend vertically spaced from the perforation row Rstart, wherein the media is moved in a first media feed direction substantially perpendicular to the bi-directional scanning path before each successive perforation in the first set of perforations; and (b) feeding the media in a second media feed direction opposite the first media feed direction by a distance D1.
摘要:
A method for filtering objects to be separated from a media, including defining at least one cut path related to an object to be separated from the media; determining a characteristic of each cut path; comparing a result of the determination made in the determining step to a rejection criteria; suppressing cutting of any cut path that meets the rejection criteria; and cutting the media at each cut path that does not meet the rejection criteria.
摘要:
A hand-held printer includes two or more tracking devices, such as optical sensors, located adjacent a print head. The two or more tracking devices permit the identification of a printing surface underneath at least one of the tracking devices, such that the movement of the hand-held printer along or near an edge of the printing surface can be identified even where at least one tracking device falls off of the printing surface.
摘要:
A hand-operated printer includes a body, a printhead mounted to the body, a target sight mounted to the body, and a display device mounted to the body. The display device is configured to display an image and a representation of the target sight in relation to the image, and wherein the relation between the representation of the target sight and the image that are displayed on the display device corresponds to a relationship between the target sight and a print position for the image.
摘要:
A multi-function peripheral comprising a facsimile portion, a memory portion for retaining received fax image data, a graphics display affixed to the multi-function peripheral and in electrical communication with said memory portion, said graphics display depicting the fax image data of the memory portion and including a user interface for zooming and editing the fax image data in the memory portion.
摘要:
A tri-state detection circuit includes a first input port for receiving a tri-state input signal, a clock input port for receiving a clocking signal, a first output port, a second output port coupled to the first input port, a D-flip-flop and a buffer. The D-flip-flop has a D input, a clock input CLK, and a Q output. The D input is tied high. The clock input CLK is coupled to the first input port. The Q output is coupled to the first output port. The buffer has a buffer input and a buffer output. The buffer input is coupled to the clock input port. The buffer output is coupled to the clock input CLK of the D-flip-flop.
